Hon. c. w. Button, Postmaster at Lynch
burg, has rendered his resignation A spe-
cial to the Baltimore SIN says:
"Mr. Button visited Washington recent
ly, and while he found the President per-
fectly willing to send his name in to the
Senate again, he also ascertained that Gen.
Malone and other Republican Senators
would renew their attacks on him. This,
in connection with the fact that he is pecu-
niarily independent of Office, induced his
resignation. 1t is surmised that MIR. But
ton will go back into journalism"
Should Mr.. Button go back to journalism
the Republicans will then appreciate the
fact that their relentless war upon him was
a mis-stroke of policy.

ton Publishers, selected and adapted by
Walter X Fobes. a well,known Boston ell
ocutionist, and the author of several other

Messrs. Lee and Shepard, Boston Publish
ers. have issued very interesting and in
structive little volume,-No. S6 in their
handbook series,-of the classic style in
size and appearance, entitled Mistakes in
Writing English, and How to Avoid
Them" by Marshall T. Bigelow, author OF
Punctuation and other Typographical
Matters" In this book the writer, who has
had an extensive experience in proof-read-
ing at the celebrated University Press, in
Cambridge, Mass, aims to point out the err
rors to which accomplished writers of En-
glish are liable; and while admitting that
mere slayish following of the rules of
grammar does not necessarily constitute ell
ecant English, he insists that no writer,
however brilliant his or her attachments
may be. should be excused from grammati
cal errors. The volume has twenty one
concise chapters besides an appendix on
the Formation Of the Plural, Compound
Words" and Some Typographical Mat
ters," and contains an index to certain
words, the proper use of the latter being
leagnedly explained.

In Brief, and to the Point.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is a foe
to good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is
one Of the most complicated and
wonderful things in existence. 1t is
easily put out of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy
food, bad cookery, mental worry,
late hours, irregular habits, and many
other things which ought not to be,
have made the American people a
nation of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has
done a wonderful work in reforming
this sad business and making the
American people so healthy that they
can enjoy their meals and be happy.
Remember No happiness with
out health. But: Green's August
Flower brings health and happiness
to the dyspeptic. Ask your drug
gist for bottle. Seventy-tive cents.
